This is the beginning of unwinding of the World Cup-related hiring. I expect next month will be negative. bsky.app/profile/fint...
FinTwitter@fintwitter.bsky.social · 9h ago⚠️ America’s hiring engine lost more speed. U.S. private payrolls added 44K jobs in July, missing estimates and slowing from June’s revised 95K, per ADP. Healthcare supplied 36K jobs, while goods producers cut 3K. The labor market is narrowing fast. $SPY

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoBARTIROMO: Last time we spoke, you told me you were expecting 4% growth in the second half of the year. The number was way lower. How would you assess that? HASSETT: The reason why the number was 1.5% was because we imported so many capital goods because we're building factories so fast

"The Odyssey" should be seen as a sequel to "Dunkirk" as they're both about soldiers trying to get home.
If the love of money is the root of all evil and if America has been running on the love of money for the last 46 years, does that make America evil?
It’s obvious to the most simple-minded that he is of an inferior breed. Look at me. I’m black on the right side. He is white on the right side. All of his people are white on the right side. #TOSSatNight
The unitary executive theory is just another way of saying Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer.
The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.

Still reading "Barry Lyndon" by the great William Makepeace Thackery. Barry, is a liar, a thief, a cheat, and a womanizer (sound familiar?) Barry observes, "“The greatest pleasure I ever had was to have revenge on an enemy.”
Employment shrunk last month by 507,000. Overall, the number off people employed in the US has dropped by 1.1 million over the last year. The unemployment rate has remained the same because the job force has also dropped by about 1 million. www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

It seems that Trump's abilities to fraudulently frame his opponents have diminished significantly since he tried to get Zelensky to bring charges against Biden.
Cue Shirley Jackson's epic response to a person who was under the mistaken impression that informing a writer that you don't approve of their work/conduct/ideas/etc. will somehow shame/inspire them to change everything about themselves just to please a random idiot.
I read Barry Lyndon recently. Barry is a liar, a thief, a philanderer and a con man. His philosophy is: Let the man who has to make his fortune in life remember this maxim. Attacking is his only secret. Dare, and the world always yields; or, if it beat you sometimes, dare again, and it will succumb.
